Determining that these particular players fall within the ambit of elite athletes; Commissioner Stevens has directed that these exemptions will be subject to a range of conditions including remaining in their respective places of residence and only permitted to travel to and from the particular training venue when required to do so.
They may leave their residence for essential reasons such as seeking medical assistance.
This will allow the two clubs to train on a comparative basis to other AFL teams preparing interstate.
